Russian engineers have developed a new type of anti-drone net designed to self-repair after being damaged. The net features a unique 'Z'-shaped cell structure that, when hit by a drone explosion, causes neighboring cells to shift and partially close the hole. The manufacturer claims this reduces the breach area by up to 50%, making it much harder for subsequent drones to use the same infiltration corridor. This technology represents a countermeasure aimed at the growing threat of FPV and other small drones on the battlefield.
